Arthur C. Clarke 2001 A Space Odyssey

Let’s get the cliche out of the way early Arthur C. Clarke was the first to publish about the use of Satellites. It’s done out of the way now on to the book ! 

2001 written with input from Stanley Kubrick along side development of the film is a modern classic.

I first read this as a child and I was instantly transported to the future ( then ). The book starts slowly and builds up to an enthralling finish that will keep the book stuck in your hands. You don’t have to be a Sci-fi fan as this book is all character based just set in space. Paranoia and a misunderstandings fuel this adventure and you’re in the prime seat !

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ
